So... spawn at low alt, low rev, engage MW50, throttle to 110%, climb to 5000 meters, then dive back to sea level and try and make 870+kph without destroying the engine? Missed anything? Rads to auto?

Might want to give this a few tries again and see what my results are now.

That's right, I know about not engaging MW50 at high rpm.

Spawn at low alt, low rev, engage MW50, throttle to 110% but you'll have to reduce it later to climb to 5000 meters without overheating. Dive back to sea level, see how long you can hold it over 850 or even over 750km/h without destroying the engine. Rads to auto.

Manual pitch and rads to open will probably solve the problem, but you'd think the automatic features should know how to protect the engine, they do in all earlier German planes.
